If the fridge compartment light doesn’t come on, ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into the wall outlet and check for the light again.If the light comes on, the fridge has power and you can move onto other possible solutions. Here’s how to troubleshoot this common issue: Make sure your refrigerator has power.Ī power cord that has worked loose in its outlet or a flipped breaker will shut the entire fridge down. Depending on the cause of your fridge not cooling or freezer not freezing, the following tips might help. Check to see if the freezer is working but not the fridge, as it may only be the refrigerator compartment on the fritz. Fortunately since we have a cabinet over our fridge, I do not have to make these difficult styling decisions.Start by noting strange refrigerator noises like scraping, which might indicate a problem with the condenser fan. What do you think?Ĭheck out this fabulous post (with extra fridgeporn) from Nicole Balch of Making It Lovely for advice on how to style the top of your retro fridge. Seems to me thought that there is a huge gap in the market for some manufacturer to produce a nicely-styled colourful, CHEAPER fridge-freezer from scratch though. But once seen I had to have it, and we are delighted with its prettiness.Īnother Big Chill fridge in a finished kitchen I have to admit that it was a difficult decision to spend so much money on what is merely a tarted up $800 fridge – as it was being delivered up our stairs I was given a graphic illustration of just what we’d bought, as all the fancy panels were unscrewed and removed so it could get up the stairs. Very cute and expensive Elmira NorthStar fridgesīig Chill Fridges are based on Whirlpool white box fridges. Here’s a great discussion outlining the pros and cons of Northstar v Big Chill. We liked the look of the Northstars very much, but since they are imported from Canada they work out even more expensive than the Big Chill. It’s important to note that both these fridges and the Big Chill fridge we bought are just retro cases screwed on to a cheap white box fridge (Elmira uses Amana fridges) so they’re by no means state of the art when it comes to internal features. Since we definitely need a freezer, I searched for retro-style fridge freezers and came across NorthStar fridges made by Elmira Stove Works in Canada. This is criminal Smeg US! Get with the program! Smeg does manufacture bigger fridge-freezers which would have been perfect for us, but they are NOT available in the US. West Elm has started selling the small standalone Smeg fridge in a variety of gorgeous colours, but these are tiny even by European standards. But for some reason THEY ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE T TO FIND IN THE US. I had one back in London and they are so ubiquitous in the European design world as to have become a bit of a cliché. Wouldn’t it be fab if a fridge manufacturer could come up with an eye-catching contemporary fridge design?įirst of all I thought of getting a Smeg fridge. After a great deal of online research the following are the only interesting fridges I could find, all retro-styled. Sadly most fridges available here in the US are either white or stainless steel boxes – gigantically huge, fabulously functional in a way that European fridges can only dream of, and boring as hell. Our Big Chill fridge in a finished kitchen So that left the fridge as the only real possibility. Unfortunately our boxy rectangular kitchen has not a single architectural feature of merit, and it is difficult to create a wow factor out of cheap Ikea cabinets. I’m a firm believer that when you’re doing a room (or planning an outfit for that matter) that you should have one striking architectural feature, or piece of furniture or art (or clothing or jewellery) that acts as the focal point of the scheme, adds the wow factor and provides an anchor to build everything else around.

And I sure as hell have no idea what "coldwave" really is. In any case, our band, Chemlab, has been deemed so, and if not, an industrial act. Chemlab is not an industrial metal act, like Nine Inch Nails or Marilyn Manson, but real industrial stuff, with some dancy electronic numbers. More synths and less on guitar/drums/bass persay.Įast Side Militia is an interesting record that sets the tone with the opening track "Exile on Mainline." There's a sample of a movie where you hear a lot of rapid and small arms gunfire, breaking glass, and explosions. Then a gruff man (a commando of some sorts) yelling at someone he just captured. The song then goes into a loopy beat that goes on for 4 minutes or so. While this track is not particularly impressive, it shows Chemlab samples often enough and is fairly abrasive. Through the album, you hear a lot of loops and sounds you would hear in Stabbing Westward songs, for example. "Jesus Christ Porno Star" is the main highlight of the record. If not for the iconoclastic name, this song is lyrically brilliant. The first half of the song combines acerbic lyrics with loopy synth throughout. The second half of the song seems like an outro, very fitting with the incessant nihilism that the lyrics have set upon it. The repeated drifts of "I am nothing / you are nothing / we are nothing / nothing at all" really blend well with the somewhat defeated mood of this outro part. Other highlights of the record include two dancy, fast-paced songs in "Electric Molecular" and "Latex." "Electric Molecular" sounds electric to begin with, and has talk about circuitry and other related topics in the lyrics. Highlighted by some female vocals, and the electronic-laced vocals of the Chemlab singer, we have a high energy beat throughout. "Latex" has a lot of loopy sounds and is a little faster-paced than the previous track. The Chemlab singer really gets into this track. Other than the three tracks above, the rest of the album is full of mostly bland tracks. The singing is not great in those tracks and very flat, but some of them have rhythm. In order to understand why this is such an ill-defined area, we must literally begin at the beginning of our Republic. By choosing to speak out, they must enter an area of free speech with multiple pitfalls and grey areas with minimal consensus. Simply put, servicemembers such as those in our organization speak out because they feel a strong personal and professional responsibility to do so. Issue advocacy also does not include the participation of military personnel in conduct of partisan political activity – as I will make clear later in this talk, such participation is bounded and strictly limited by custom and law. Article 88 specifically holds that:Īny commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.Īmong the more recent and widely publicized instances of such activities was the use of contemptuous language by a few senior officers against then-President Clinton, including one statement that he was a "draft-dodging, pot-smoking, womanizing commander in chief." In a republic where civilian control of the military is paramount, such speech is clearly intolerable and prejudicial to good order and discipline. Such actions are normally referred to as "Article 88" violations, after the section of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or UCMJ, that addresses such conduct. Specifically, issue advocacy does not encompass conduct specifically intended to undermine the authority of either the civilian or military leadership over members of the armed forces. I should also take a moment to clearly define what issue advocacy isn’t. Indeed, such continued service gives our members’ speech both relevance and weight in the ever-shifting marketplace of ideas. Such advocacy is at the heart of what we do at IAVA – although many of our members have left the military, a sizable portion remain in service on either active duty or in the reserve component. More specifically, I will discuss actions taken by military personnel to address pressing issues of concern on defense policy and veterans’ affairs. My topic tonight is "Breaking Ranks: The History, Limitations, and Importance of American Active Duty Issue Advocacy." By issue advocacy, I mean actions taken by members of the armed forces to increase public visibility on issues within their field of expertise that directly impact the public good. For more information on our work, please feel free to visit I am proud to serve as a blogger and public speaker for IAVA, even as I continue to serve my country as an officer in the United States Army, and it is that conjunction of public service and private advocacy that I wish to address. It is my great privilege and pleasure to speak today on behalf of IAVA (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America), the nation's first and largest group dedicated to the troops and veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the civilian supporters of those same troops and veterans. Members, honored guests and friends of the New York Military Affairs Symposium, thank you very much for your kind invitation to address this distinguished group. Breaking Ranks: The History, Limitations, and Importance of American Active Duty Issue Advocacy #to set a standard for this tutorial, change #now edit this file with the following changes While ! /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep -q 'inet addr:' Print(s.getsockname())x = s.getsockname()s.close()įrom email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipartīody = xmsg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain')) S = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) The python script is as follows and was stored in an directory marked "background". To solve this problem we will write a python script that emails us the Pi's IP current IP address upon start up. And if you do not have a monitor setup, you would need to ssh into the Pi to trigger the motion detection protocol, change motion preferences, or access anything else on the device. Depending on the network, the Pi's IP address changes. In this step we will focus on how to access your Raspberry Pi, regardless of the network you are on. If you haven't changed the password while in Raspi-config, then your password to enter when prompted will be the default password: raspberry. Last, you'll need to either open up the built in terminal app on a mac, or find and follow instructions for a 3rd party ssh app for windows. In the demo picture above, the IP Address is 192.168.1.10. In a command terminal, type:Īnd your IP address should be in the wlan0 section that pops up, right under Link encap:ethernet. Next, you'll need to find your Pi's IP address. from there you will want to use the arrow, tab, and enter keys to go first into interfacing options, then to enable SSH, as well as the camera, then exit and reboot the pi. This command allows you to enter a configuration menu. To do this, open up a command window in your Pi, and type in: To SSH into your Pi, you need to follow these 3 simple steps.įirst, you need to enable SSH on your Pi. SSHing into your Raspberry Pi is easy and very useful, as the process allows you to issue commands to your Pi from any computer with nothing more than a WiFi connection. With this method, all you will need to edit your Pi is a power source to keep it on, no more monitor and keyboard! By using a Secure SHell, or SSH, you can control your Pi remotely from a computer. One very handy tool available to you when using your Pi is the option to issue commands to your Pi in what is known as a headless setup. If you are unable to sign in to your WiFi network from your Pi's desktop interface, you can follow the instructions here to set up WiFi through the command line. You may have completed this step already either by locating the WiFi symbol in the upper right corner of your Pi's main screen and signing in there, or doing the same thing before installing Raspbian in the last step. The first step to getting the most out of your Pi is to connect your it to the internet. Once you have Raspbian installed on your Pi, it's time to get some basic features set up. Then, follow the steps on the Raspberry Pi website on installing Raspbian Jessie on your Microsd card, found here. To begin, make sure you have all of the required items from the last step. I went ahead and installed manually PHP 5.6 too. The repos installed first the DEFAULT version for CENTOS 8 = PHP 7.2 (most stable and updated according to the repo). I tried to install MULTI Version PHP on this new server. When I imported into this new Centos 8 server, they don't display correctly, and some errors arise. My old server (the giver server running Centos 7.8) has PHP 5.6, which most of my customers portals (specially some versions of Wordpress they have) works fine. However, I'm having issues with the PHP versions. I already installed Webmin/Virtualmin, and the migration tool from Virtualmin to import full CPANEL backup accounts worked great. I’ll try to help.I'm trying to make some tests on this new server (CENTOS 8) before I complete the full migration from a CPANEL CENTOS 7.8. If you are having trouble importing, let me know on the comments section. So I hope you can successfully restore your MySQL database backup into a new database using Virtualmin execute SQL option. Uploading files with a ftp client is more stable than using your browser to upload. In those cases it’s best to upload it to server using ftp or sftp first and then using From local file option on the Execute SQL page to import it. Sometimes SQL dump files can be few GBs large. That was easy right? Well it’s easy for smaller SQL files. The video on the top shows you exact method of importing SQL dump file into MySQL database using Virtualmin. If you see this, your SQL files is successfully imported to the new database. If not, it’ll display No output generated. The next page will display errors if there are any. It’ll take some time depending on the size of SQL file and your connection speed. Your database backup file will be uploaded in the background. Then click Execute to import SQL file to the database. Tick From uploaded file and use attachment icon to browse your computer and select the SQL dump file. But the option we’re going to use today is on the Run SQL from the file tab. All of the options on that page can be used to import SQL database into the server. You’ll be taken to the Execute SQL page where you have few options to execute SQL queries. Click Execute SQL from the page that loads next. Click Manage under the database name you want to import the SQL file to. Make sure correct domain is selected and click Edit databases. Once you’re in, switch to Virtualmin tab from top-left corner. Let’s start the process by login in to Virtualmin as root. Although installing phpMyAdmin with Virtualmin is just one-click away. How to import SQL dump file using Virtualmin?Īs I said before, you don’t need to install phpMyAdmin on your server just to export and import MySQL databases. Watch how to back up MySQL database with cPanel/phpMyAdmin for more information on that. If you don’t have the backup file yet, you need to create it now. Importing this file to a new database will import all your posts, pages, comments and your login info to new database. When you export an MySQL database with phpMyAdmin or another software, it creates a file with all those information with. What is a SQL Dump file?Īll your posts, pages, comments, email address you use to login to your website and even your password is stored in a MySQL database. You can find the video how to at end of the page. If your new server is built with Virtualmin or you used my Virtualmin and Nginx on an unmanaged VPS tutorial, you can use this method to import your database backup file into MySQL database. In either way, you should migrate your files and databases over to the new server. Or migrating from managed VPS to unmanaged VPS to cut the cost. You might be migrating from shared hosting to a VPS that has Virtualmin installed. This means that you don’t have to install phpMyAdmin on your server just to import an MySQL backup file into a database.ĭownloading the SQL dump file and importing it to the new server is an important part in server migration. It gives you an option to import SQL dump file (Database backup file) into MySQL database directly from its MySQL module. Virtualmin is a feature rich control panel to manage your VPS. Therefore, especially for the recent crisis, it is important to assess the contribution of automatic stabilizers to the overall fiscal expansion and to compare their magnitude across countries. This action included a broad range of measures such as (payroll) tax cuts, employment incentives, activation policies, higher benefits and increased transfers to low-income households. The automatic action of tax-transfer policies was accompanied in most countries by discretionary action in the field of tax, social and labor market policy. Due to differences related to the structure and financing of the tax benefit system, the degree of automatic stabilization was bound to vary across countries.Īutomatic stabilizers are widely seen to play a key role in providing income insurance for households and hence in stabilizing demand and output. During the recent crisis, the tax and benefit system has acted as an automatic stabilizer on both the revenue as well as the expenditure side of the general government budget. In particular, automatic stabilizers provide income replacement immediately when unemployment starts to rise. Automatic stabilizers are usually defined as those elements of fiscal policy which reduce tax burdens and increase public spending without discretionary government action. Much less attention has been devoted to the workings of automatic stabilizers. While it is uncontroversial that both the magnitude of the economic contraction during the crisis and its effects on labor markets were attenuated considerably by the work of automatic and discretionary stabilization, a large part of the resulting policy debate has focused on the size of discretionary fiscal policy plans and on rescue packages for banks. The recent recession triggered by the financial crisis has had a severe impact on incomes and employment around the world and especially in Europe (OECD 2012). This raises the general question of whether countries with weaker automatic stabilizers have taken more discretionary fiscal policy action to compensate for this. One reaction to this criticism was to point to the fact that automatic stabilizers in Germany are more important than in other countries, so that less discretionary action is required. In the debate on policy responses to the recent crisis, some countries have been criticized for being reluctant to enact fiscal stimulus programs in order to stabilize demand, in particular Germany.

I hope you have as much fun as they did with my own limbo song, or the limbo video below or some of the other great musical traditions from this beautiful part of the world. So I created the new song on the spot about what was going on – they were dancing fast and slow, going left and right, and I kept adding simple verses so they could just keep having fun with the song and the game. I wrote this song while singing for a group of school children who did not want to stop dancing. I’ve used the tune of a popular Caribbean song called “Tingalayo” and added verses about the dance. I’ve written a song called “Do The Limbo” that is great for playing with children and perfect for learning English. Most folks in the United States recognize a song by Chubby Checker called the Limbo Rock and you can play that song as a Youtube video from the link below. If you’d like to learn more about the early days of this dance, a record company called Putumayo has created a CD of original recordings from the early days of calypso music (see link below). There are some wonderful traditional and popular limbo songs you can explore. What music can you play? You can find any great music with an island beat to accompany the limbo. However, when playing at a party or with children, feel free to make up the rules that work best to keep the dance a fun activity for all. They may not touch the pole or touch the ground. Dancers must lean back to go underneath the pole. Since the limbo pole was originally a broom, you can use an extra broom pole, a bamboo stick or any other long pole that is available. If you’d like to try the limbo, the dance is easy and fun and can be adapted to a classroom, summer camp, backyard, beach or party setting. People who are good at the high jump raise the bar, people who are good at the limbo, lower it Here’s my way to avoid the Limbo Dancers: Setting The Bar (First Stage Filtering) Consider. That happier, more joyous limbo celebration became the dance that has made it’s way all around the globe. However, sometime after the 1950’s and 1960’s, calypso music became very popular and the limbo became better known as a dance done with colorful clothing and upbeat, happy music. Originally the limbo was done as a solemn and slow dance or ritual, sometimes as part of wakes or funerals. In order to get over to see each another, the slaves needed to cross under very low spaces. The slaves were held separately – with men and women in different areas of the ship. The limbo was brought to Caribbean islands with slaves from Africa. Sadly, the history of the limbo is not a pleasant one. And someone is always asking: “How low can you go?” It’s not an easy task – but it is a lot of fun. If you touch the stick, touch the ground or fall over you are out of the game. Have you ever heard the music of Trinidad or Tobago or the other beautiful islands in the Caribbean? If you’ve seen movies about that part of the world you’ve probably watched a crowd of people enjoying festive music and trying to see who can get under a limbo pole that gets lower and lower every time the dancers approach it. |
